    Mofongo & Sweet Chili Chicken.
    Jarrett C.

    Stopped here for a quick lunch before a Yale tour. Staff was fantastic!! Guided us through the options and gave us a sample. Food was fantastic and full of flavor!! Portions were amazing we left stuffed! Recommend everyone stop in before or after your campus tour if you're ever in New Haven

    A friend recommended I try MofonGo in New Haven, and boy, was it good! If you're gonna do mofongo, go big, so I went with "The Overload", half Spanish rice and half mofongo topped with Adobo chicken, salsa, and chimichurri sauce...oh and a papa rellenos on the side (mashed potatoes filled with ground beef). Soo yummy! The portion was a good amount, I could not eat it all. Bonus: leftovers for dinner! Also, this place is in the old Anna Liffey's basement!!! Brings back memories! It's small and quiet inside. More of a grab and go or grab and sit and eat type place.

    Was lured in by the music at doorway, and surprisingly found this cute spot tucked downstairs. The lady taking orders acknowledged us immediately and let us know she'd be with us shortly. We ordered the yellow rice and pernil (shredded pork) with Chimichurri which was good. The pork and rice were flavorful but the rice was a bit mushier than my liking. The yellow rice and Chicharron de Pollo (Crispy Fried Chicken), was good but pretty standard. The empeñada was really good it was flakey and crisp on the outside but the meat was full of flavor and tender inside. Everything was fairly priced, and portions were large.

    Love this little spot. When you walk by the actual restaurant you're greeted with a deep stairway down into the place and it's so fun. The walls have cute art on them too and the inside of the establishment is very cool. Kinda industrial. Service was tricky because we both did not speak the same language but that did not matter, the workers were very kind and patient. My friend got their empanadas. They were fresh and crispy and pretty good. Me and my other friend got the same thing, the fried pork rice bowl. It was amazing. The flavors all came together and the portion size was extremely generous. Fun lil spot!

    I went there for lunch and with an appetite. I ordered the rice bowl with pernil (pork shoulder) and it came loaded with your choice of rice (I chose yellow), beans and I added the 3 maduros (fried plantains) for $1 extra. The chimichurri sauce, pico de gallo tomato and onion mix, and mayoketchu (mayonnaise and ketchup mix) was all added on top and you can also choose to add it on the side. My plate cost me about $15 and it was well worth it! The meat was tender and soft, and the rice... it was so moist and delicious! I can't stand being served dry rice anywhere and I was so happy that this was delicious. The addition of the sauces added layers of flavor. I couldn't even finish it all. Oh, and don't let me forget to mention that the woman who served us brought us a sample of the mofongo on the side, on the house. A hit of mofongo, rice, beans and pernil all on one fork will send you to cloud 9 for sure. I will definitely be coming back here and would recommend it to anybody!

    When I went is was the second week after opening. My wife and I tried the trifongo. Let me tell you after trying trying the trifongo you will never want a regular mofongo. The sweet plain tins make the meal 10 times better. The portion was great and the price was reasonable. Definitely plan on going back. It's great to see a Puerto Rican restaurant have a new spin on traditional food.

    Amazing food! So happy to have an authentic Puerto Rican spot in New Haven! It's beautiful inside! Went during the soft opening, can't wait to see it at its full potential. My personal preference is I wish the canoes had shredded cheese instead of thick mozzarella but that's just me. I try and stay away from dairy but it still went down! Everything is delicious! Portions were HUGE!

    The shrimp mofongo was to DIE FOR! Can't wait to come back and try the other foods, like the Puerto Rican finger foods.

    Not the best experience…read more The service was quick, their truck seems clean. However there's room for improvement. We ordered the Tripleta sandwich which is three meats: chicken, beef and ham with signature ketchup. That was delicious. Price 13.00 I ordered just Mofongo. Very disappointed. They didn't put any pork rinds on it as traditional Mofongo calls for. Price 8.00 for crushed plantains with garlic? Meh at least should of had some lettuce and tomato on the side. Per drinks, their offerings were very limited and if you want Piña Colada (no alcohol) you will pay 8.00. Overpriced. People go to food trucks to do something different and get a taste of their island. However, just because it is a truck, and a business you shouldn't cut corners like this. Not memorable. Take away. The guy that took my order was really nice. Would I drive to New Haven again to stop here. NO.

    At this year's New Haven Food Truck Festival, my husband insisted that we get a tripleta from this…read morespecific food truck. While there are normally two sizes to choose from, today was just the large size for $10. To be honest, at first I was very ticked that we had to wait so long for our food. Compared to other trucks at this festival, FBT was going particularly slowly, it seemed. However, the wait was worth it. The tripleta was probably my favorite thing we had the whole event. Admittedly, I've never had a tripleta before today, but I loved the flavors of the three meats (ham, pork, and steak) and the mayo+ketchup combination. I didn't want to share! We were also the only people ordering who ordered in English, too, if that's any indication for authenticity.

    Nachos: Picture this. You're sitting with your closest friends on a perfectly youthful Thursday…read morenight, because you just couldn't wait for the weekend to begin. You're playing some ridiculous game you made up in an instant, and your laughter echoes through the bar, along with the strangers voices and the blaring music. You walk up to the bar, where a mirror stretches across the wall behind the bartenders, and you catch yourself in it, along with a few lingering eyes. You laugh at the audacity of youth, the absurdity of it, and look at yourself a little longer. You're young. Your hair's long, your eyes are dark, your cheeks and nose are red from the cold outside that has settled into your bones. You zone out at any reflection you catch yourself in, because you can feel the time passing. The bartender finally makes their way to you, and you order a plate of nachos that makes its way to your table on its own. There are so many hands reaching in, and you don't even notice when the table started overflowing with new and old friends. You take the first bite, and suddenly you're gutted. They taste incredible, perfectly flavorful. You have no idea where the feeling comes from. It's mushrooms and salsa, perfectly salted. It's relief and familiarity all at once, like the spark of something new that feels good because it's familiar, like it was waiting for you too. You close your eyes and melt into its warmth immediately. You open your eyes and suddenly, everything around you starts to move. Winter coats pile up on the hooks by the door, then disappear into spring. The patio opens with local indie bands, then closes with the sun coming up. The stool beside you fills up with the Irish guy you had the most awkward first date with that you counted the minutes. Months later you run into him again, and you laugh about it together until your stomach hurts. At the table near the windows, a girl you barely knew raises her voice at you over something out of your control, and you realize you don't want this. You cut her off, and she disappears from her seat. You see yourself passing through time in every corner of the bar. Old friends fade into the back of the mirror, and new ones take their seats in the same booths, laughing at the same jokes. The eyes around you linger as they pass. A guy at the end of the bar looks up every time you laugh. Someone holds your gaze in the mirror a beat too long, then looks down at his drink. You notice every one of them and hold on to none, because you can't seem to stay in the moment. Everything is already passing by while you're still standing in it. "SO?! What are you going to rate them?!" says your new friend sitting beside you, who just found out you write these ridiculous reviews for fun. You realize you seek out nachos the way you seek out love. It's a deep, familiar desire. You keep chasing the first bite that made you feel like this. He's waiting for your answer with a big smile on his face. Your hair's still long. Your cheeks are still red. Nothing has changed, but somehow, everything has. "Five," you say. "Five out of five." All else: I've said enough. This bar is my safe space and happy place. The bartenders are heaven-sent. P.S. I was listening to Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol writing this, hence the drama.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
